The Future

ABOVE: Space is pioneering the first phase of automated systems in orbit, evolving into free-flyer platforms that introduce low-level gravity for groundbreaking commercial applications like thin-film processing and 3D printing. Customizable, variable gravity unlocks new economic frontiers in space, making advanced manufacturing and research viable on an unprecedented scale.

Gravity is the cornerstone of sustainable space habitation. Our long-term future beyond Earth hinges on it. Without it, the human body deteriorates, rendering prolonged space living unsustainable.

In a first-of-its-kind comprehensive review of gravity research commissioned by ABOVE and published by Dr. Mae Jemison, former NASA ISS astronaut, and Ronke Olabisi, Ph.D. at UC Irvine, the difficulties of space habitation without gravity were illuminated:

• Human physiology rapidly declines in continuous microgravity.
• Weightlessness causes well-documented long-term harm to the body.
• Everyday activities like eating, sleeping, and hygiene demand Earth-like gravity for non-astronauts.
• Controllable, variable gravity is essential for humanity's enduring presence in space.

ABOVE delivers a clear, innovative roadmap to revolutionize gravity in space, enabling thriving habitats and industries.

Prometheus
